New to Blogging

I've been wanting to blog for a while now.

For a long time journal-writer, it's seemed like a natural thing to do. And yet, each time I went to try it, I felt...self-conscious. Vulnerable. Almost silly, wondering who do I think I am that my thoughts are so important they need to be published on the web.

But here I am. Not because I decided my thoughts were so very important. Not because I screwed my courage to the sticking place. But because I finally found a name that I thought worthy of being a Blog name.

It was at my council meeting last night (I'm a pastor). I was getting out of my car and saying hi to the wonderful people there, when I heard a shout in the night.

"Hey!" yelled one of the council members, "Preacher Momma! C'mere!"

Preacher Momma, I thought. I could live with that.

And so, the blog was born. I still feel self-conscious. I still feel vulnerable. But at least I can feel all those things with a name that screams style.

Preacher Momma. Yeah, I like it.
